Why do glasses get so dirty?!

Lenses seem to have a tendency to always be smudged or filthy, and cleaning it with your shirttail doesn't always cut it.

They easily collect the oils produced by our skin and hands when we touch our frames, leaving behind smudges. The lenses can also pick up airborne dust and lint particles. Additionally, glasses with anti-reflective coatings can be harder to clean since some coatings have a "static cling" attraction with oils and residue.

Keep in mind that you can visit us at our office to have our opticians professionally clean your glasses! We are open from 8AM to 5PM, Monday through Friday.

Otherwise, linked below is an article that details how to clean your glasses without scratching or damaging your lenses & frames:

Step-by-step instructions for how to clean, but not scratch, eyeglass lenses. Also: Can scratches be removed?

In the high-paced bustle of daily life, it can be difficult to schedule and attend appointments for in-person care with your doctors. To solve this issue, there has been an increasing demand for online services in the medical field. However, it comes with great risk, as online services truly cannot replace the value of the in-person practitioner.

"Online vision tests, while marketed as convenient, are no replacement for in-person care. They fail to fully cover any of the 12 essential exam components and can lead to inaccurate prescriptions or missed diagnoses of serious conditions like glaucoma, diabetes, hypertension cataracts and macular degeneration." - Jeffrey Sonsino, O.D., FAAO
